Leipzig
Germany
Why we can’t wait to go back: It’s like Berlin,
but better. This city is filled with ex-Berliners who, outpriced by
gentrification, went looking for a cheaper alternative to call
home. By day, we’ll catch a film at the Leipzig Panometer – a
360-degree cinema (yes, really) – before popping into the Museum of Fine Arts.
After dinner at Umaii ramen bar, it’s time for drinks at the
spectacularly painted La Boum. Ready to make a night of it? Leipzig’s
techno clubs rival the German capital in their renown. See you
beside the left-of-stage speaker.
Where we’re staying: Hotel Fregehaus
Before you go: Read up on Spinnerei, a cotton
factory turned artists’ hub. It’s a compound filled with more 120
artists’ studios and home to the so-called “New Leipzig School” of
art.
